    Green chile is a New Mexico thing, not a Mexican thing. Even Tex Mex hardly has any thing that would be considered green chile in it. Honestly New Mexico has completely destroyed Mexican food by slathering green chile on absolutely every god damn meal. It’s disgusting. Go to Mexico and you won’t find green chile anywhere.

      Green chile with meat might be, but green chile sauce on its own is definitely Mexican, I thought. Are enchiladas with green sauce not Mexican? Regardless, I deleted my comment cause I don’t want to spread misinformation in case I’m wrong.

        I think you’re probably right. I have seen green sauce on enchiladas in a few places, like Texas and Colorado and I don’t remember it being often (usually red sauce), but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in Mexico. I could definitely be wrong though.
